The capture of Kuaiji County, coupled with the influential boss Yu Fan presiding over Kuaiji work, made the subsequent conquest very easy.

Regardless of the county town, as soon as they heard that the Xiakou Army was approaching, they opened their city gates and surrendered to the soldiers of the Xiakou Army.

In addition, Ling Cao was a local, and most of the soldiers in the county knew or had heard of Ling Cao.

In this case, who would be stupid enough to resist?

Unless your head is caught in the door.

Ling Cao's 20,000 Marine Division used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves and continuously took over the county towns in the Kuaiji area, and then moved his troops southward.

Let’s talk about Liu Yao.

Originally, the governor's office was in Shouchun, but what?

Shouchun was occupied by Yuan Shu, and Liu Yao did not dare to compete with Yuan Shu, so he had no choice but to compromise and come to Moling.

Moling became the place where the governor's office was located.

Besides, it had been less than a year since Liu Yao took over the Yangzhou territory, and many local officials had no time to put things in order.

Liu Yao and Liu Zhengli were the clan ministers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty. They were the nephews of Taiwei Liu Chong after the death of King Hui Liu Fei.

Liu Yao was from Qingzhou, and he was a fellow townsman with Taishi Ci. After taking office, he would invite Taishi Ci to work in Yangzhou together.

Unfortunately, Liu Yao only verbally recognized Taishi Ci. In fact, Taishi Ci was not reused under Liu Yao's account.

If Liu Yao trusted Taishi Ci and Sun Ce led thousands of troops across the Yangtze River, it would not be easy to annihilate Liu Yao.

Under Liu Yao, Taishi Ci had no military power and no connections, so he could only live as a minor official.

It can be seen that Liu Yao is really not good at employing people.

A good situation was ruined by Liu Yao.

Once Liu Yao re-appoints Tai Shi Ci and gives Tai Shi Ci more military power, it will be very difficult for Yuan Shu and Sun Ce to enter Jiangdong.

Taishi Ci's military strength is not weaker than that of Sun Ce. They are both powerful masters of the same level.

"Reporting to the Governor, Niuzhu was attacked by the Xiakou Army. It won't take long for Niuzhu to be lost."

Send orders to soldiers.

What!

Why did the Xiakou army come to attack our Yangzhou?

It seems that I have no grudge against that boy Qin Qi!

How dare he send troops to attack Yangzhou? Aren't he afraid that the imperial court will deal with him?

This is an unintentional dispatch of troops to fight across borders. Once held accountable, they will face the serious crime of genocide.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Liu Yao said.

"Report to the Governor that Niuzhu has fallen, General Fan Neng was killed by the guards in the city, and the city was dedicated to the Xiakou army."

Send orders to soldiers.

Liu Yao Meng Circle!

how so!

I felt so confused all of a sudden and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Lord Governor, after the Xiakou Army captured Niuzhu, they did not stop their campaign and continued to send troops to the surrounding areas. There are not many soldiers in those counties. Once the Xiakou Army reaches the city, they will be unable to resist!

"

Send orders to soldiers.

Liu Yao became anxious and immediately called in his romantic scribes to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, Liu Yao was a literati who liked romance, and he must have made friends with a group of literati who only knew how to talk.

But what?

Chen Wen, the former governor of Yangzhou, was appointed as a special official by Liu Yao.

Chen Wen, whose courtesy name was Yuan Ti, was from Runan, but not from the Yuan clan. For this reason, Yuan Shu planned to establish a military base in Yangzhou.

Chen Wen became a stumbling block, so Chen Wen had to be dismissed from get out of class.

Liu Yao and Chen Wen were also acquaintances, so he invited Chen Wen to take charge of Yangzhou affairs. In this way, Liu Yao could control Yangzhou in a short time.

Chen Wen and other scholars walked into the governor's house one by one and sat down.

"Do you know that Xiakou Qinqi sent troops to attack Yangzhou without any reason and ignored the laws of the country? This is a treasonous act."

Liu Yao said.

"Lord Governor, why did Qin Qi send troops to attack Yangzhou for no reason? There must be something wrong with it."

Chen Wendao.

"Lord Governor, we must first find out why Qin Qi sent troops, so that we can better come up with countermeasures."

A civil servant said.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Liu Yao said.

"Lord Governor, Taiping, Wuhu, Sanshan, Hulin, and Jingxian have been lost, and Xiakou Gaoshun's army is rushing towards Moling."

A messenger rushed in and reported.

Liu Yao took a long breath!

The Xiakou army advanced too fast.

"My Lord Governor, I humbly suggest that we immediately transfer General Zhang Ying from Qu'a back to defend Moling City, and then we can find a way to rescue him."

Chen Wendao.

"Yuan Ti, Zhang Ying is stationed in Qu'a. Once Qu'a is lost, we have no way out!"

Liu Yao said.

"Lord Governor, do you mean to abandon Moling City?"

Chen Wendao.

"Just wait and see!"

Liu Yao said.

Chen Wen was speechless.

Your butt is on fire, what are you waiting for!

"Lord Governor, Moling City is a fortified city and can be defended as long as we have enough troops.

Qu'a is just a wharf. Under the attack of Xiakou's warships, Qu'a can't hold it at all. It's better to transfer it back to Moling City."

Chen Wen patiently advised him.

Bang!

A messenger bumped in.

"Reporting to the Governor, Kuaiji County and its entire area have been captured by the Xiakou Army, and the Xiakou Army is now advancing southward.

The prefect Wang Lang was beheaded by his army commander Sima in public display, and now Yu Fan is appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji County."

Send orders to soldiers.

Impossible!

Where did Xiakou's army attack Kuaiji County? Wu County and other areas were not lost yet. Did Xiakou's army fall from the sky?

"What's going on?"

Liu Yao said.

"My lord, the Xiakou army came ashore from the sea and marched directly into Kuaiji City. Only when the city was completely surrounded did the king and prefect in the city notice."

Send orders to soldiers.

What!

March into the sea!

What kind of divine operation is this!

I have never heard of it being possible to launch an attack from the sea.

"Master Governor, Xiakou Division has a very large ship in his hands, which can withstand wind and waves and can take things by surprise on the sea. This is also in line with Qin Qi's idea of ​​using troops."
